TRAVELERS UMBRELLA-CARRIER.

Application filed June 550, 1918.

To all whom it may concern Be it lmown that we, JOSEPH F. Snnvnv and Joni: MENDEL, citizens of the United. States, residing at New York, county oi New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Travelers Umbrella-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention consists of a new and improved travelers umbrella or cane holder. it is particularly adapted to be used in connection with a dress suit case, though it may be used on any bag or similar article.

The invention is designed essentially to hold an umbrella or cane securely and closely to a bag, and when not in use the device may be taken off and put inside the bag if desired. The device consists 01" an adjustable frame having two arms. Elie frame is preferably made of metal, though it may be made of any desirable material.

In the accompanying drawing :-Figure 1 shows the device in use on a dress suit case. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line a; a: Fig. 1, of one of the arms, a portion oi an umbrella and suit case. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the device.

The device is constructed of two thin strips of material, preferably metal, a. The strips are loosely adjustable and held together by a sliding band or collar 7) through which the strips a slide. The ends of the strips (1. may be slightly bent up at c it desired, so that they will not slide out of the collar Z). On each member a is a spring arm, preferably made of resilient metal and so bent over as to form a lower member d and an upper member 6. The space be tween the lower member (Z and upper member e, is of course very small, being a little greater in width than the thickness of the top of a dress suit case, so that the device may be slid onto the top of the case as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, wherein the member (Z of each arm is on the inside of the case and Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 776,555.

the member 6 is on the outside of the case, and the resilient character of the arms holds them closely and firmly against the top of the G1: course wh n the bag is closed the cover of the case closes tightly over the member 6 and holds the device firmly in position. By reason of the members a being adjustable, the device can be lengthened or shortened to suit'the requirements of various sizes or" umbrellas and may also be closed up into a small compass when not in use.

At the end of each arm 6 is a spring clasp which holds the umbrella or cane. Needless to say one of these clasps f is larger than the other so as to fit over the larger part of the umbrella or cane. The arms may be painted to resemble leather or covered with thin leather or any other desirable material. 91" course the arm having the larger clasp is a little longer than the one having the smaller clasp so that the umbrella will ray in a ctr ight line with the edge of the bag.

e claim An umbrella carrier adapted for use with a suit case, comprising a holder including a pair of parallel transversely positioned arms having hook portions for engagement with the jaws of the case, a clasp located at the end of each arm, one of the clasps being of smaller diameter than the other to grasp an umbrella, a lateral bar extending from each oi the arms, a coupling to slidingly connect the bars together, and stops to limit the movement of the bars.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
